but that's just my opinion...I could be wrong

Drive the way you like to drive, comes down to that - and don't ____ on other people's choices because they are not your own. The same applies to many other things in life!

Blue tC, sorry bud, guess I missed the other post. and anyone who does get the SC, manual or auto, you have to post pics and tell us all about it, 0-60, passing accelleration on the highway, gas mileage, etc.

It's not a friggin sports car people, you don't need a 5 speed. I chose an A/T for daily drving in traffic. All of my sports cars (ie over 300hp) have been 5 spd, and they're fun every now and then, but I hated getting to work after my 45 minute drive in traffic with a numb left foot from constantly actuating the clutch.
My last 2 cars have been A/T, and it's been great for daily driving. If you're planning on supercharging it, then you may have a legitimate reason to get a 5 spd. Otherwise it's personal preference. Besides, the tC is geared so badly in a 5 spd, that if you do any highway driving, you'll want an A/T for the mileage.

I think if anyone wants performance, get the TRD supercharger regardless of the transmission type. Sure an auto is going to be a little more parasitic than a manual, but you're still going to get a drastic increase in performance.
